Chapter 1617: Two Worlds Secret Art, First Step into the Ancient Realm (2) Chapter 1617: Two Worlds Secret Art, First Step into the Ancient Realm (2) Editor: Henyee Translations It was as if Jiang Chengxuan had pierced through the veil of time itself, seeing beyond the ages, beyond space itself!
Instinctively, his hands moved, painting in the air with sweeping strokes, leaving behind layer after layer of vivid colors that held the profound essence of various paths and overwhelming power.
“BoomaEUR”!” With every stroke, the sound of a great bell resonated, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
Gradually, time itself began to distort, as if they were leaving one world and entering a completely new one.
At that moment, Shen Ruyan felt a sudden chill, and instinctively, she manifested her Cave Heaven, floating behind her.
Suddenly, an extraordinary force surged from all directions, enveloping both their Cave Heavens and bodies, as though a thin membrane had formed around them.
“This isaEUR ” Shen Ruyan's eyes widened with astonishment as she watched the world around them change.
The sky above them turned an eerie, deep shade of dark, interwoven with thousands of sacred and complex runic barriers.
The sight alone was enough to make one's heart race.
But what truly shook her was how the sky was rapidly drawing closer, as if it were moving toward them.
Before she knew it, she felt herself rising, floating upwards toward the approaching sky!
She gasped, turning around to see that Jiang Chengxuan, too, was slowly ascending, surrounded by the same runic barriers.
Only then did she begin to calm down.
It seemed that this awe-inspiring phenomenon was the result of the mysterious technique Jiang Chengxuan had activated.
“BoomaEUR”!” As the two of them neared the massive, magnificent world, a deafening roar filled the air, completely overwhelming their senses.
The sights before them were filled with divine light, brighter than any star in the universe, as though they had returned to the primordial moments of creationaEUR”the first burst of life's brilliance.
It was a feeling of both awe and familiarity, as if all the forces in the universe were beyond reach.
Slowly, they lost track of time.
They could only feel themselves drifting, floating peacefully in a calm, warm current.
“BoomaEUR”!” At some point, a deep, resounding sound of a great bell rang out, and both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan suddenly snapped awake, their eyes wide with shock.
“ShhaEUR”” For a moment, both were stunned, staring at the scene with astonishment, gasping as the realization hit them.
They could only think of one phrase to describe the overwhelming feeling: the vastness of the heavens and the earth.
The world around them was so far beyond the Xueming Immortal Domain in scaleaEUR”both the heavens and the earth were on a completely different level, with the air infused with an even greater concentration of celestial energy and the primal force of the universe.
Every star in the sky was enormous, and from a distance, its brilliance could be felt even through the vast emptiness of space.
Mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, the starsaEUR”everything seemed as if it were described in the most ancient texts.
It was unfathomably large, beyond comparison.
Even with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan's steadfast hearts, they stood in awe, speechless, uncertain of how to even begin to comprehend what they were witnessing.
“This is the Ancient RealmaEUR it's truly breathtaking!” Jiang Chengxuan exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Shen Ruyan, too, felt a rush of emotion as she looked around, her heart pounding with the thrill of exploration.
It was as if they had returned to the moment they first entered the Immortal Domain, facing the vastness and the mysteries of this unknown world.
“Compared to here, the Xueming Immortal Domain seems like a child's playground,” Shen Ruyan marveled, unable to grasp the true vastness of this realm.
In the Celestial Immortal realm, traversing the Xueming Immortal Domain was only a matter of a few days.
Yet, the gap between these two realms was enormous, something beyond imagination.
No wonder the Celestial Immortals of the Ancient Realm viewed the Xueming Immortal Domain with such disdain.
It was as if noblemen of a royal palace, looking down upon peasants in a remote village, with an inherent superiority given by the very nature of the Ancient Realm.
“HusbandaEUR where should we go now?” Shen Ruyan asked, her mind still reeling from the experience.
Now that they had arrived in the Ancient Realm, she found herself uncertain of where to go next.
Jiang Chengxuan pondered for a moment.
He had little knowledge of the Ancient Realm, and their next steps were as much about discovery as they were about preparation.
“We'll head to a more populous area first,” he decided, observing the starry sky to discern the best direction.
Although his divination skills had been dulled somewhat in the Ancient Realm, discerning signs of human activity and prosperous regions wasn't too difficult.
“Alright.” Without further hesitation, the two of them transformed into streams of immortal light and sped off, maintaining a pace that wouldn't draw too much attention.
They quickly crossed numerous mountains, arriving at a small village, then onto a modest town.
However, even these places, which appeared to be inhabited by mortals, were filled with cultivators.
Each village had an immortal overseeing it!
In the Ancient Realm, mortals were a rarity.
After some investigation, they learned that most of the so-called “mortals” were actually descendants of fallen immortal sects, who had lived for generations without cultivation but still carried the bloodlines of once-proud immortal families.
This was unsurprising, as the Ancient Realm was designed to separate regular cultivators and mortals from the great powers of the world.
“Such a massive immortal cityaEUR This must be the Ancient Lan City!” Jiang Chengxuan remarked as they came upon a massive city in the distance.
Looking at it, they were in awe.
The city towered over the land, blocking out the sky, as if it were made of countless stars.
Mountains around it seemed like mere grains of sand by comparison.
Even from a hundred miles away, they could feel the overwhelming presence of the city, as if it were an ancient cosmic entity, vast and incomprehensible.
After some time, they reached the city gates, entering a new world that felt almost like a different dimension altogether.
There, they encountered city guards, immortal cultivators wearing ancient attire.
The guards, with the aura of Earth Immortals, asked casually, “Where do you come from, and why have you come to the city?” Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, now somewhat accustomed to the Ancient Realm, had already prepared their false identities.
In truth, their real identities didn't matter much, as anyone attempting to cause trouble in this ancient city would be swiftly crushed.
The guards' casual manner changed when they recognized Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan's Celestial Immortal auras.
They provided the two with additional information about the city.
Apparently, even in the Ancient Realm, the Celestial Immortal rank still commanded a degree of respect.
“Good!
We'll enter the city now!” Jiang Chengxuan replied with a nod.
As they entered, Jiang Chengxuan's mind was already focused on the next step.
Among the information provided by the guards, there was something that piqued his interest.
“The Zun Gu Auction!” The name rang in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
He had once said that the best way to understand the power structures of any region was through auctions.
Even if he didn't buy anything, he could gather invaluable intelligence about the Ancient Realm.
His next move would take him closer to that goal.
